El Salvador is a member of the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Bukele needs to be indicted and arrested for his conspiracy with Trump to disappear human beings to a torture gulag. Absolute violation of international law.

Where did Trump get the $6 million to pay El Salvador? Did Congress appropriate that?

You mean if you go meet people where they are and speak in uncompromising terms about compassionate progressive values, you might do better in the long-term than hiring expensive consultants to triangulate “swing voters” in the same five places with diluted vague promises? Shocked, I tell you.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

“I don’t know what the laws are.” —the president of the United States

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

“For electronics, at least, we’re now putting much higher tariffs on intermediate goods used in manufacturing than on final goods. This actually discourages manufacturing in the United States.”

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

Bingo

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Let’s find out what they mean by “anti-Christian bias” in the State Department! I suspect they mean a failure to promote Christian nationalism.

Sanders: Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low income and affordable housing..

#TrumpParade 🤣🤣

Harvard and Princeton announced that they are selling bonds, rather than kowtowing to Trump‘s blackmailing efforts. This is how you do it!👏👏

I could not agree more⬇️

When you elect a bunch of people who hate and fear government to run your government, you get a government of hate and fear. This is true no matter how many times you're dumb enough to run the experiment.

This part

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

A birth certificate is required to get a social security card, and that number is used to obtain a Real ID Why do republicans claim a woman's ID is insufficient to vote? Whatever paperwork is required to vote should also be required to buy a gun.

Our parents & grandparents do not want to be on X just to get the benefits to which they are entitled.

Unthinkable news. ⚡️ NOAA's budget ROI is calculated from 9 to 100 to 1. The insurance industry relies heavily on NOAA research to mitigate insurance price increases. This will hit home, and we'll all be paying more if it happens. 💰 #mnwx www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Precedence has been set Immigration judge rules that Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported #MomSky

Nothing will ever match the cruelty of the first Trump Administration’s child separation policy, but they’re really trying hard to match it in their second term with these deportations.

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues He is Andry Hernández Romero. God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH. We care

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil" "Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs." Free this man immediately. apnews.com/article/mahm...

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

Did you know that every single active duty service member pays into social security at the full cost but billionaires are capped at what they contribute?

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

Define "our." When you say "our country," WHO exactly are you talking about? List the specific Americans that make up "our" in your mind. Then we'll talk.

two years ago, silicon valley bank collapsed, threatening to wipe out large swathes of the fortunes of peter thiel and his cronies. so joe biden stepped in to cover their losses through the fdic. they were made whole. then they bankrolled trump. and now no one else will ever be made whole again.

Bernie doing Bernie things on CNN. #MedicareForAll

Sanders: If Musk can do this to federal employees, some of whom are in unions, some of whom have worked for years, what do you think he's going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics comes for your job?

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

There is something particularly insidious about this administration - the guy who valorizes Nazis - enforcing despotic policies under the guise of "fighting antisemitism."

Sept. 23, 2024: "But threatening to not vote or signaling to others that it’s fine to not vote doesn’t make you a progressive; it makes you a childish clown who clearly doesn’t understand the stakes." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/all-that-m...

I think the Democrats who are voting for some of Trump’s appointees are ones who have presidential aspirations. They must think this will appeal to centrists, but this will cost them the votes of those who want real change. No to corporate Democrats. AOC over Klobuchar any day.

Let me help you figure it out, Mitch. You didn't impeach this crazy sonofabitch when you had TWO CHANCES to do so. Now he's the Mad King of the World, and the only criterion for holding office in his administration is how earnestly you kiss his flabby wyt ass.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”
